ENGLISH CO-OPERaTTON,


 In the current number of the Fortnightly Review Mir. George J. Halyoake gives very interesting and instructive account of the success of cooperation in England MT. Halyoake speaks with authority on this sub ject, for he has long made special study of it and has had practical experience in CO., operative work.
 Distributive cooperation as it is known to4 day did not begin in England until the for nation of the Rochdale society in 1S44. Then for the first time the principle, essen tial to real cooperation, was adopted of giving the shareholders percentage only and dividing the remaining profit among the customers. That society started with twenty eight members, fund of e29, and made no profit the first year. But since then the growth of the system thus inaugurated has, as the statistics show, been little short of marvellous, and it's success has been core spondingly great. To-day the members of cooperative societies of the Rochdale type exceed 900, 900, and receive annually more than two and half million pounds of profit. There are 1,200 stores in operation, doing a business ot nearly thirty million pounds 0 year, and owning q share capital of eight millions. In several instances the annual profits of single societies rise to close upon e20, 900; while in the twenty-five years from 1861 to 1886 the co-operators have done a business of upwards of three hundred and sixty yone millions of pounds, and have made profit for working people of hundred and fifty million of dollars.
 Distributive cooperation has worked we'll in England, but productive cooperation has not made much progress. Some experiments have been made, but the result has not been encouraging. It is strange that distributive cooperation has not worked better than it has in this country, where it has had pretty extensive trial. Perhaps there is not as much need of it here as there is in England.

COMMUNICATIONS,
The Grief of a Noble Soul.

ne UT1c1 O1 a NOD16 SOuls To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Hon. A. H. Colquitt, of Georgia, writes on prohibition in the New Princeton Review for September and his words will have influence, for few men in our country have higher char acter and standing. His article is rather a complaint than an argument He is sad to find any respectable men expressing doubts about prohibition. He seems ready to say: "It was not an enemy that approached me; then could have borne it; butit was thou, etc." The saloon is his principal theme; and this is true of almost all the prohibition arti cles and speeches. The public attention is rarely directed to the full plan, and it is probable that the word prohibition suggests to nine-tenths of the people only the saloon question.
 MT. Colquitt points to Atlanta as the scene of splendid triumph. If any of the States cannot enforce their prohibitory law he thinks that such failure augurs ill for popu' ular government. s. c. B.
